Chapter 9: Qi Zi Shou Wu (Part 2) Seeking Recommendations for a Comeback!

  (The second update is sent! Asking everyone to vote and rush the list. Really can't do it anymore, crawling off to sleep, everyone should go to bed early too, still have work tomorrow.) The disciples around him were full of admiration. The previous jealousy and discontent had vanished, who let him have this strength?

  Qin Tian's face showed a pleased expression, and Chong Zhong also nodded extremely satisfactorily: "This one is absolutely top-grade!"

  "Good!" The disciples under Qin Tian's command cheered and applauded.

  On the left side of Chong Zhong, a long table was placed, on which six pots of Qi Zi Shou Wu were scattered. They had all grown into human-like shapes. Of course, they couldn't compare to Qin Tian Jian's one pot.

  Chong Zhong Zheng solemnly placed Qin Tian's beheading at the very front.

  Chong Zhong Hui selects the top ten, and then determines the ranking of the top ten. The ones after that, since there is no excellent recognition reward, just give a score randomly, and it will be fine to determine the ranking later.

  Qin Tian stepped back with a smile on his face, but he didn't leave. Instead, he waited to see how well Tian Yingdong would do.

  He didn't have to wait long before it was Tian Yingdong's turn. Just like with Qin Tianjian, Chong Zhong treated Tian Yingdong's Seven Sons First Wu with great care, and when he took it out, everyone else also gasped in shock, as it turned out to be almost identical to Qin Tianjian's!

  This time, even Chong Zhong was in a dilemma, which of these two is the first?

  Qin Tianzhan and Tian Yingdong's eyes met, and they were about to spark a fire.

  Chong Zhongyi gritted his teeth and thought of a way to avoid offending anyone: "This is really hard for me to decide, so let's use the most foolish but fairest method: count the whiskers."

  The number of roots is a clumsy way to determine the quality of spiritual herbs like Polygonum multiflorum and ginseng, but it's indeed the fairest method. The more roots there are, the better the quality.

  This matter involves fairness, and Chong Zhong can only count it personally.

  It took half a time to finally count all the roots of the two seven-son first Wus, Chong Zhong raised his head, Tian Yingdong and Qin Tianzhan looked at him together nervously.

  Chong Zhong gazed up at the sky: "Tian Yingdong has won."

  Tian Yingdong's subordinates cheered in unison, and Tian Yingdong also revealed a relieved smile. In contrast, Qin Tianjian turned around angrily and left.

  On one side, the crowd congratulated Tian Yingdong, while on the other side, the assessment continued. Chong Zhong placed Tian Yingdong's Seven Sons First Wudang in front of Qin Tianzhan and beckoned to his disciples behind him: "Continue, don't waste time."

  Behind them, dozens of people didn't have any good qualities, Chong Zhong looked quickly and simply recorded a score based on experience.

  It was Lü Da Tong's turn now, and he couldn't help but feel tense. There were only two spots left in the top ten.

  Finally arrived at Lu Datong, he held his own pot and went up, saying with a bow: "Please evaluate."

  Chong Zhong saw the "ding" character embroidered on his clothes and gave a slight nod. When his gaze fell on Lu Da Tong's Qi Zi Shou Wu, he was slightly stunned and couldn't help but take a look at Lu Da Tong before taking out the Qi Zi Shou Wu to carefully examine it.

  Finally, he nodded and said: "It can barely be considered top-grade."

  Lu Da Tong still had some doubts: "Can we make it into the top ten?"

  "Alright."

  Lu Datong was overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you!"

  Chong Zhong smiled faintly and put Lu Da Tong's Qi Zi Shou Wu in the last one.

  Sun Li glanced over and saw that the several Qi Zi Shou Wu in front were obviously inferior to Lu Da Tong's in terms of shape, but Lu Da Tong was the last one.

  Lu Daitong didn't care about that anymore, turned around and gave Sun Li a big hug: "Haha, Sun Li, I did it! I made it into the top ten! Haha!"

  "Alright, let's not waste any more time." Chong Zhong furrowed his brow, urging somewhat discontentedly.

  Lu Da Tong hastily made way: "Yes yes yes..."

  Sun Li stepped forward, and Chong Zhong took one look at him and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Another waste of time..."

  Other disciples were somewhat pleased with the misfortune, Sun Li's seven-son Polygonatum multiflorum was a head shorter than usual, and compared to Lu Daitong's, it was not just a little bit worse.

  Chong Zhong casually pulled out Sun Li's seven-son first Wu and was ready to give him the lowest score.

  Sun Lizhen quietly put the vase into his own storage ring without anyone noticing the secret inside.

  He slapped the dirt off, and the root of the seven-son ginseng was exposed. Chong Zhong glanced at it carelessly, but suddenly found himself stuck to it and couldn't pull it out!

  This piece of He Shou Wu's root is only the size of a fist, but it has clearly become human-shaped, with a complete body, limbs and head, and it's not inferior to those of Tian Yingdong and Qin Tianzhan!

  The originally noisy disciples also slowly sensed the strangeness, and their voices gradually became smaller. Everyone looked at the seven-son first crow in Chong Zhong's hand.

  "Is this what Sun Lijun cultivated?"

  "Impossible, how could he have the ability to cultivate such a good spiritual medicine?"

  "But this is obviously from his own pot..."

  Chong Zhong's face looked a bit unsightly: "Sun Li, is this really what you've sown yourself?"

  Sun Li was somewhat annoyed and said firmly: "Yes!"

  Chong Zhong looked around at his disciples. If someone were to stand up now and say that their Seven Sons First Wu had been replaced by Sun Li, Chong Zhong would definitely believe it.

  But no one came out.

  Chong Zhong was unwilling to accept it, but had no choice but to acknowledge that this was indeed the seven-son first Wusun grown by Sun Li himself. But how could this guy who didn't understand anything and dozed off in class possibly grow such good seven-son first Wusun?

  He hesitated for half a day and reluctantly nodded: "It can be considered top-grade."

  After some thought, it turned out that Sun Li's this one was placed behind Qin Tianjian, ranking third.

  The younger brother below took a cold breath, and all kinds of envious and jealous eyes swept back and forth from Sun Li's body.

  Sun Lizhen was calm and managed to get third place, which greatly exceeded his expectations. He had originally thought that as long as he didn't come in last, it would be fine.

  Among the disciples, the one with the ugliest face was actually Houmura in the back.

  He had just "educated" Sun Liyi, but didn't expect that Sun Li would successfully enter the top ten. Su Lan was heartbroken and asked himself, Sun Li's seven sons and first wu were indeed much better than his own, and his face was burning as if being pricked by thousands of steel needles.

  Chong Zhong waved his hand and obviously didn't want Sun Li to steal the show, so he hurried over.

  Sun Li also didn't have any lingering feelings, and walked off to one side, while Hou's Liulang came forward.

  Seeing the "丙" character embroidered on Su Lan's body, Chong Zhong's face looked a bit better. He took out Su Lan's Qi Zi Shou Wu and found that its quality was not bad either. Chong Zhong nodded and looked at the long table again.

  After Sun Li's was put up, there were already ten. However, Su Lan was obviously not bad and had the strength to enter the top ten. Under Lu Da Tong's eyes that were about to die of a broken heart, Chong Zhong unhesitatingly took down Lu Da Tong's Qi Zi Shou Wu from the long table and put up Su Lan's!

  "But..." Lu Datong called out half a sentence before being fiercely stared down by Chong Zhong, forcing the rest of his words back down.

  In front of him were at least three seven-son first Wus that weren't as good as Lu Da Tong's, but he was placed last.

  Su Lan's Qi Zi Shou Wu is not better than Lu Da Tong's, but it can squeeze him out.

  There were also dozens of disciples present, with eyes as bright as snow, who could see the simplest good and evil clearly, but not a single one spoke a fair word for Lu Daitong.

  Lu Da Tong's face was a mix of sadness and joy, gritting his teeth hard, with tears already welling up in his eyes.

  Sun Li was indignant and felt as if his chest was going to explode.

  "Chong Zhong's teachings say: Man is doing, Heaven is watching! Don't say it won't come back around, retribution will definitely arrive!"

  Chong Zhong was furious: "Are you saying I'm corrupt and unfair?!"

  "You know it yourself!"

  Chong Zhong angrily stood up and slapped the table into pieces: "You ignorant thing who doesn't know the height of heaven or the thickness of earth..."

  Sun Li was furious, just about to push forward, but was held back by a pair of hands. He turned his head and saw Lu Datong's resigned expression: "Sun Li, forget it, when you're under someone else's roof, how can you not bow your head? Who made us part of the lower class?"

  "Then let him bully people like this!"

  Lu Datong was about to kneel down to Sun Li: "Sun Li, thank you, but if things get out of hand, we'll be the ones who suffer. You're not afraid, I am, don't drag me down with you, forget it..."

  Sun Li felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over his head, and he fiercely pushed Lu Da Tong away, striding off in large steps.

  "One day, I'll make you understand that even a disciple of the lowest class can soar to great heights!"

  ……

  The assessment of the Dan Tao door is complete, Tian Yingdong tops the list, and Qin Tianzhan closely follows. This result was also predictable by everyone. However, Sun Li, the villain who ranked first in the previous two doors, unexpectedly took third place, causing a lot of discussion among everyone. No one expected that Sun Li, who had been at the bottom of the previous two doors, would squeeze into the top three.

  The assessment ended, and Chong Zhong took the seventh of the top ten, Qi Zi Shou, and left quietly.

  He arrived at a mountain peak in the back mountain, and changed from the majestic appearance in the academy to bowing his head and asking a disciple: "Brother Chongshan, have you been well lately?"

  Chongshan nodded slightly: "Not bad."

  Chong Zhong took out the ten seven-son ginseng from his bosom: "Elder brother, I heard that Uncle Master is going to open the furnace to refine the elixir soon. These seven-son ginseng have all reached top quality, I wonder if Uncle Master can use them."

  Chong Shan's face looked slightly better: "What a coincidence, Master just happens to be able to use it recently. You can leave the thing here, Brother has a kind heart."

  He received a bland compliment, and Chong Zhong's face lit up with excitement: "Haha, where, where, it's my honor if Master can use it. I won't disturb Master's cultivation, this... bother Master to ask Master Uncle for me. Hehe!"

  Chong Shan rolled his eyes: "Don't worry, I'll explain it to Master, this is your filial piety."

  Chong Zhong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Shixiong... thank you, Shixiong..."

  He repeatedly bowed and bid farewell, retreating downward.

  These ten best-quality Hei Dou were given away as a favor by him. Chong Zhong had some research on Dan Dao, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to accept the task of teaching new disciples about Dan Dao.

  He's just at this level, which is enough for teaching new disciples.

  In the midst of Mount Su, a true master of Taoist alchemy had just been visited by Chong Zhong. However, the Master himself was too lazy to see Chong Zhong's self-proclaimed disciple, Wang Qing Dao Ren. Even Wang Qing Dao Ren's own direct disciple, Chong Shan, was far superior in standards compared to Chong Zhong.

  These ten He Shou Wu plants, where did they enter the law enforcement's eyes? They were all monopolized by Chongshan.

  Chong Shan was just preparing to fire a "Jiuxi Dan". He happened to be short of some good quality Qi Zi Shou Wu. Ten stalks of Qi Zi Shou Wu were quickly steamed and ground into powder, then added to the raw materials.
